A gardening friend has shared a few seed of the Guajillo Chile Pepper Seed with me which were brought from Mexico. I found the description below. Any good suggestions on germination and growing of this variety?I am an Heirloom Tomato gardener and don't know much about peppers.

Guajillo - Capsicum annuum, (Chili travieso)—Spanish for “naughty chili” ~5,000 Scoville Heat Units
90 days. A hot, large-podded chile, with fruits 4" long, by 1" wide. A good yielder of chiles which turn from green, to an orange/red/brown color when mature. Guajillo means little gourd due to the sound of the seeds rattling in the dried chiles. It's very good for drying, salsas, sauces, and moles. From Mexico.
